Arctic blast will be no joke and still watching the 16th with some ensembles showing big snow:

- The Arctic blast for early next week has trended even colder with highs in the upper teens on Long Island on Tuesday with lows of 5 to 9 degrees early Wednesday morning.

- 5 of the 50 Euro ensemble members are showing a big snowstorm (greater than 10 inches) for Long Island around the 16th, so the odds are still low for now, with the odds in New England being a little higher. There will then be at least 2 more chances after that between the 19th and 26th.
